Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 57.2/100, a mean average of 56.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 56.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 26.9.

This is gonna be a mixed (and long) bag: - (nr 22 on the overall BEA top chart of 2010): I only enjoyed Party Poison of this album and that's not enough. - (nr 23): I already don't really like rap but this must be the worst kind. - (nr 24): it was not so long ago that I discovered this band on…

A fantastic step forward from the already excellent Fearless. Heavier and more consistent in quality, as well as a willingness to have a little more fun. (Edited)

Found this cd in my dad's collection. My sister bought it eight years ago for her birthday when she was 8. There isn't even a scratch on it, and I feel guilty even ripping this considering the ass Swift is especially now.

This is her best album. The lyrics are very good, the melodies nice and overall it's a consistent and enjoyable album to listen to, start to finish, I don't even notice how long it is. The only track I don't really like is Last Kiss. Ours, Mine, Sparks Fly, Back to December, Speak Now, Dear John, Innocent, Enchanted and Long Live are my favorite tracks.

According to the album credits she is the sole songwriter for all tracks. Pretty uncommon these days especially for someone at her stature. This is before she made it to her current level but man can she pump 'em out, and at high quality too. Better Than Revenge and Speak Now are my favorites. She really struts her stuff on this one
